[The feed starts with a audio. Someone obviously thinks their device is a phone and is attempting to leave a voicemail.]

Mike? Um, what’s going on here? Is this like some God shit? You told me Goddess ceremonies are different, but I was seriously not expecting this. Not until the drinking started, anyway.

And Mike? If you’re just fucking with me this is seriously NOT the time. Call me back, yeah?

[Axl ends the call, inadvertently turning on the video. There’s a shot of a young man in skinny jeans and a t-shirt, soaked completely to the skin before he shoves the phone in his pocket. His voice is heard muffled through his jeans before it turns off.]

Uh, ‘scuse me? I’m not in Auckland, am I? It's in New Zealand, yeah.

Oh... fuck.





[ooc: You are now plus one Norse god, City! Action for anyone near the fountain. Axl is 6'3" and soaking wet so he will be easy to spot. BRING HIM A TOWEL BEFORE HE CATCHES HIS DEATH and takes everyone with him.]

[Oooh, dryer fresh. Nice.]

Yeah, that's usually a problem. Welcome Centre?

private;

[infernoandhearth]

There are a lot of new arrivals. The Welcome Centre prepares for them. It's sort of a shelter. You might want to resort to it if you can't be bothered with a job.

[friggmagnet]

Wait, I have to get a job here? That's bullshit, they're the ones who kidnapped me.

private;

[infernoandhearth]

And yet here you are, with places that require money, and the need for a job all the same.

private;

[friggmagnet]

Bollocks.

[Squeezing his socks out now, don't mind him.]

[infernoandhearth]

If you move often enough, you can squat. The landlords work it out after the first day, though. Somehow.

[friggmagnet]

What about all your stuff?

[infernoandhearth]

[...stuff?]

You could get a rucksack, I suppose.

[friggmagnet]

You must not have a lot of shit, mate.

[infernoandhearth]

[He spreads his hands apart.]

Only what I have on me.

[friggmagnet]

... don't you have a change of clothes?

[infernoandhearth]

[Luke laughs, and nods.]

Yes, I've a change of everything. Are you dry enough, yet? Fancy heading to the Welcome Centre?

[friggmagnet]

Yeah, should be right, mate.

[Heaving himself up again, toeing his shoes on.]

[infernoandhearth]

[Luke waits patiently for Axl to get his shoes on, and then beckons at him.]

Come on, they might still have a meal going.

[friggmagnet]

Oh yeah? Brilliant.

Uh, I'm Axl.

[infernoandhearth]

I'm Luke, then. Hallo. [He starts walking.]

[friggmagnet]

Luke. Right. Brilliant.

[It takes him a moment to notice that they're walking, but he catches up quickly enough.]

[infernoandhearth]

[They are not far from the Welcome Centre. It only takes some walking 'north' to get there.] It smells like there might be a meal... Or we've just missed it.

[friggmagnet]

They might have leftovers!

[infernoandhearth]

You're completely right. We shall have to see. [He gestures dramatically forward with one arm.] And hope. Ready, Axl? [He enters the centre.]

[friggmagnet]

Suppose so, yeah. I'm supposed to meet someone else here.

[infernoandhearth]

Really? Who?

Sorry my internet was down for a while

[helsmaiden]

Me. [ Leah steps out from the corner where she was waiting. ]

[friggmagnet]

[Oh hey, Leah. Is he all that you imagined and more?]

Hey.

[infernoandhearth]

[Oh hooray! Luke grins.]

Hi, Leah! What are you meeting up with Axl for?
